Victims of trafficking

Victims of trafficking are individuals who are illegally transported or coerced for various exploitative purposes, such as forced labor, sexual exploitation, or involuntary servitude. This crime often targets vulnerable populations, including those suffering from poverty, discrimination, or lack of education. Traffickers deceive or manipulate victims, sometimes using violence or threats to maintain control. Victims may be trapped in these situations for long periods, facing significant physical and emotional abuse. Anti-trafficking efforts focus on prevention, intervention, and support for victims to help them reclaim their lives and reintegrate into society.
